Darling, requesting me to call at her | house that evening on a matter of importance. I called at her house at about 9 o’'clock that | evening and was told by Mrs. Darling that she was very much attached to Crothers, and that she was desirous of saving him from go- ing to the penitentlary; also that she had tel- | esruphed to his mother in the town of Win- | ters and had volunteered to advance $150 for the defense of Crothers, the amount mentioned to be repald by Mrs. Crothers at her.con- | venence. | This amount, Mrs, Darling told me, was at | my disposal if 1 would consent to have the felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor, to which latter charge Crothers wuold plead guilty and consent to take a sentence of six months in the County Jail. I told her that I could have nothing to do with such a proposi- tion; that Crothers was already charged with the crime of grand larceny, and that I had no other connection with the case than that of an arresting officer. She continued to plead that | I take the money and assist in serving to save Crothers from going to the penitentiary; I con- tinued to refuse her request and started to leave the room when two men stepped in from an ad. Joluing Toom and accosted me With the asser- tion that they had heard all about how I was willing to ‘‘square’” the case for"$150 and that they guessed I would now be good.> They said they were friends of Crothers and that they were reluctant to make trouble for me, but that unless 1 “let up” in my prose- cution of him they would bring me before the Board of Police Commissioners on a charge of attempted extortion. They said they were three to one, and that I would have no chance to clear myself of the charge. Also that they were going to clear Crothers by fair means or by foul. Denies the Story. I immediately visited the Hall of Justlce and briefly informed you of the facts as above related and was instructed by you to proceed with the prosecution of the case regardless of any threats: The first calling of the cas: was on Wednes- day, Mav 7, in Department 1 of the Police Court, Judge E. P. Mogan. At the request of Crothers' attorney, Judge Salomon, the hear- ing was continued until to-day. At the calling of the case to-day Charles A. Low appeared for the defendant. I produced all of the wit- nesses for the prokecution and made out & per- fect case against the defendant. The defense produced one witness, J. M. Clemens, one of the two men who entered the room in Mis. Darling’s house, as before re- lated, and he testified that 1 had offered to “square” the case for $150, of which amount $50 was to go to the Judge. He nsserted that he rud heard this ofier made by me to Mrs. Darliug while listening behind a door in an adjoinine room. At the ume Clemens alleges that I made this offer Crothers’ case had not been assigned to any court, aad it was not in my power to have it assigned to any particular one of the four Dolice courts. "Also Crothers in the City Prison and fn my presence made & proposition or rather a. sug- gestion (o M. A. Gunst to have the charge Against him reduced from a felony to & mis: 4émeanor for a money consideration. Also Mra, Darling went to Mr. Gunst at his office, 23 Kearny street, and there made a stmilar prop- osition to him. This and other corroborative evidence of a stmilar nature I will produce at your pleasure. The charge against Crothers is set for fur- ther hearing at 12 o'clock to-morrow, Re- specttully, L. L. LEVINGS, Police Otficer. ‘When seen later Levings said: LEVINGS EXPLAINS. This is s plain, ordinary attemnt on tha worst of the decision in his fight last night with Paul Martin before the Hayes Valley Athletic Club. Martin 1s a mem- ber of the latter club. There was little to choose between them in the first round, although Leon- ard was the aggressor. The second and third were Leonard’s rounds. In tha fourth Martin had Lecnard in distress, but the latter came back gamely, and at the end of the round Martin was groggy. When Referee McDevitt read the votes of the two judges he made the announc ment: “The judges ‘say’ Martin wins. Had he followed his usual formula he would have said, “Martin wins.” Joe Angeli made George Erdelatz quit in the third round of thelr bout. latz had the better of the first round. In the second and third rounds Angeli's fists h and blood could not withstand. Er- elatz could neither guard himself ncr stop the shower of blows. He finally re- tired to his corner and threw up his hands as & token of defeat. u Smith took a couple of punche: in the jaw from Bd Gallatin and then de- ed Hie was not cut out for a fighter. He vent fo the mat and reclined there ten seconds. Sergeant of Police Bush stopped_the fight between Bert Keelen and Hugo For- | rest in the fourth round. The judges de- cided in favor of Keelen. Thejfigit waes oue of the most desperate ever seen here, Ed Parker was given the decision ovel'l Jchn 1. ot our bustling William Tardelli stopped from sheer ex haustion in the third round of his bout with Monte Attell.

Driscoll landed a- wild swing on the body and Maher went down and out. McCormick after part of the friends of a criminal the character of & policeman. When | aos Ge tailed on this case by Lieutenant Birdsall I started in to make a case out against Crothers or McWilliams, as he is better known. I had encough evidenge to convict him and I knew that Mr. Gunst. ffom whom he stole the cigars, wonted him punishedsfor his offense. Now. i3 it likely that under those circumstances. I would attempt to square the case for $1507 I knew that Gunst was the man from whom the cigars were stolen and I know Gunst well enough to know that he would never let go on the prosecution of a case of this.kind, Now. under the circumstances, is it reasonable o suppose that I would attempt to square this case? Mrs. Darling telephoned for me to come to her house. and thinking I might be able to got something valuable In the way of evidence, I called at her flat at 913 Ed began to talk about Biving ngey :fi?e:hms’;: £150 to withdraw from the prosecution of this | case and save the young man from San Quen- tin. T told her that there was no an; in which I could save him. I explained that Gugst was a man who would press the case to the bitter end and that 1 would prosecute it also. She made several offers to me and in the midst of her rambling talk of bribery I saw the figure of a man behind a glass door. I thereupon informed Mrs. Darling that I would not talk with her any further, as I sus- pected that she was trying to job me. I told her flat-footedly that I intended to press the case to the finish and send_Crothers or Me- Wiiliams to Sen Quentin. Then it was that Mrs. Darling’s two witnesses stepped out of the Toom. One of them, named Douglass, said I am an attorney and you had better drop this case. I told him his bluffs were useless and that he might just as well stop talking. He said: “If you don’t drop the prosecution of this case I Will see that you are ‘broke’ from the force.”” Knowing that it was a deliberate job on the part of Mrs. Darling and her friends to protect her consort from imprisonment I laughed at them, WITTMAN TO INVESTIGATE. I came back immediately to the Hall - tice end informed the Chief of Pnucoo{hg{lul visited Mre. Darling’s house at her request and that Mrs. Darling and her friends tried to job me. Chlef Wittman told me to press the case to the cnd and if there was a job in it any- Wwhere it would come out in court. Chief Wittman when seen to-night said: I knew nothing about this case until Levings come to me several nights ago and told me that he was being jobbed by designing peopls who sought to free a criminal whom he had arrested. I listened to his story of what oc- curred and_censured him for golng near Mrs. Darling. . Levings explained first his. visit 1 Mrs. Darling’s house by saying that Crothers or McWilllams, as he {5 better known, lived with Mrs. Darling and that he wanted to search his room for more stolen property. After making one visit to the house Levings told me that he went again, and I told him that 1. would insist on his prosecuting the case, and that if there was any attempt to job him “§t would come out in the course of the trial. The Police Commission was in session at the time and I was rather put out about being disturbed. The matter slipped my mind entirely until this morning, when the oase came up in court. I intend to probe this mat- ter to the bottom.. If Levings is the victim of a clique of designing people who are trying to free a criminal 1 intend to see that justice is done him. If I find that he Is gullty of the crime charged against him I will see that he suffers for his offense. The whole question as it is presented in court is whether or not Police- man Levings is lving about his alleged trane- | Erde- | Roat a tattoo on Pis opponent’s body that | | | GYCLIAT KILLED ON THE TRAGK Archie McEachern Is Thrown Heavily at Atlantic City. Chain of Racing Machine Breaks and He Sustains Fatal Injuries. ATLANTIC CITY, May 13.—Archie Me- Eachern, the well-known champion bicy- cle rider of Toronto, Canada, while being paced by a motor tandem this afternoon at the Coliseum track met pvith an acci- dent which resulted in his death twenty minutes later. The accident was the re- sult of the breaking of the chain on the motor cycle. Riding the tandem were Alf Boake and Robert. B. Thompson, who hav: raced with McEachern for ten years past. The effort this afternoon was to estab- lish a new mile record. Several miles had been covered when the chain broke. In the sudden slowing up of the damaged tandem McEachern collided with it and shot in the ‘air like a rocket. His head struck ageinst a projecting board, which cut a gash in his neck, from which blood spurted in streams. The jugular vein had been torn open. He expired shortly after his removal to a hospital. Boake and Thompson were uninjured. WADDELL FANS ELEVEN. Pitchers’ Battle Ends in a Victory for the Reuben. SACRAMENTO, May 13.—Rube Waddell established the coast strike-out record for the season by fanning eleven men. He would have made it an even dozen had Anderson held the last strike on Unglaub in the seventh. The latter was thrown out at first, however. Dowling pitched great ball, but went to picces in the eley- enth, when the score stood 1 to 1, and al- lowed five hits and four runs, a lead the Senators could not overcome. The feat- ures were the box work of Waddell and Dowling and Sheehan’s wonderful work at third. Score: SACRAMENTO. AB. R. BH. SB. PO, A. E; Hulen, 2b.

San Francisco and Oakland will begin a serfes of six baseball games to-day at the Oakland grounds. According to the dope, the commuters should do a variety of things to Uncle's crowd, but baseball is uncertain at its best, and the locals may possibly spring a surprise on the numer- ous wise ones who always like to butt in with their opinions. Oakland outplayed the Angels last week in four games out of six, while the Ponies broke even with Fisher's Colts at the cap- ital. As both teams will play on the home grounds this week, there is bound to be some fireworks before the fun is half over.

I intend to investigate the matter to the very bottom and if he is guilty he will be unished. I have had a full statement from vings and I intend to get a transcript of the Droceedings in court. I never authorized Levings to call upon Mrs. Darling and as a matter of fact I did not | know that he was working on the cas: until he came personally to me with his troubles. That was the night that he visited Mrs. Darl- ing’s house and the two men walked into the rcora on him while he was talking to the woman. That is all I know about the case, but now that it has been brought out in such @ prominent manner I intend to bring out everything in the whole transaction. I _will find out who {e telling the truth—Mrs. Darl- g o Levings. In this matter justice will be one. The matter will be taken before the Grand Jury. Levings will also be called upon to explain why he called on Mrs. Darling and what transpired at her house at the next meeting of the Police Commissioners.

FLATCAR RACES DOWN A GRADE Workman’s Wild Ride May Be Followed by Death. Severing of a Brake Chain Causes Accident Near Ukiah. Special Dispatch to The Call. UKIAH, May 13.—While riding on a flat- car laden with heavy timbers Thomas Megaw sustained injuries yesterday which probably will cost him his life. Megaw was engaged with Frank Dutro and others in removing some landings in a gulch, and after tearing the landings to pleces had placed the timbers on a flatcar. The grade in the gulch is quite steep, and it was only necessary to loosen the brake on the car and allow it to move. Thus the timbers were bein the track to the river aid on to a switch convenient to an adjoining gulch in which they were to be again erected. Megaw and Dutro were in charge of the car and had loosened the brake. They were controlling the speed of the car witn the brake, but when a short distance had been traversed the brake chain broke. Instantly the car gained frightful mo- mentum. Dutro leaped and escaped un- hurt. Megaw started to follow the ex- ample of his companion, but before he succeeded the car left the rails and struck in the soft earth with a thud. Megaw was pitched headlong into the air, and a number of the heavy timbers fell upon bim. Dutro was unable to move them, and Megaw had to sustain the entire weight until Dutro ran some distance for assistance. That Megaw ‘was not killed outright is remarkable, as the heavy timbers struck him as they fell. He lay pinioned under them for upward of fifteen minutes. It is not believed that he will survive his in- juries. A Rich Strike on the Water Front. E. J.
